Domestication influences choice behavior and performance of a generalist herbivore [PDF]

, 2016
Domestication processes have changed wild ancestral plants to modern crop plants that are well adapted to agronomical practices and produce high yields.

Testing Domestication Scenarios of Lima Bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) in Mesoamerica: Insights from Genome-Wide Genetic Markers

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Plant domestication can be seen as a long-term process that involves a complex interplay among demographic processes and evolutionary forces. Previous studies have suggested two domestication scenarios for Lima bean in Mesoamerica: two separate ...

Systems Modeling at Multiple Levels of Regulation: Linking Systems and Genetic Networks to Spatially Explicit Plant Populations [PDF]

, 2013
Selection and adaptation of individuals to their underlying environments are highly dynamical processes, encompassing interactions between the individual and its seasonally changing environment, synergistic or antagonistic interactions between ...

Selection for domestication favored taxa characterized by fast growth and tolerance of high intraspecific density

Plants, People, Planet
Societal Impact Statement To understand why certain plants have been domesticated into crops, we need to recognize that the environmental conditions plants experience in wild populations are totally different from those of agricultural fields.

Whole-Genome Analysis of Candidate genes Associated with Seed Size and Weight in Sorghum bicolor Reveals Signatures of Artificial Selection and Insights into Parallel Domestication in Cereal Crops

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Seed size and seed weight are major quality attributes and important determinants of yield that have been strongly selected for during crop domestication.

Ornamental plant domestication by aesthetics-driven human cultural niche construction [PDF]

, 2022
Unlike plants that were domesticated to secure food, the domestication and breeding of ornamental plants are driven by aesthetic values. Here, we examine the major elements of the extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) theory that bridges the gap between ...

Processos evolutivos e a origem das plantas cultivadas Evolutionary processes and the origin of crop plants

Ciência Rural, 2011
A evolução das plantas cultivadas, que teve início há cerca de 13.000 anos, está sujeita aos mesmos processos evolutivos naturais, aliada à ação do homem de forma consciente ou inconsciente, levando à domesticação.
